I just had a lovely moment of nostalgia when I found that the Field Mice were on the iTunes Music Store! Okay… time to take the magical time machine back to 1994… when I had a girlfriend (for all of three months) named Emma. She’d been given a tape from a guy she knew (and whom I found out later that she had an unrequited crush for, but nevermind…) and this lovely ditty named ‘Emma’s House’ was on it. It was a crummy cassette, dubbed on a cheap ghettoblaster most likely, and I always wished I could get the song in a better quality format.

Problem was that the Field Mice were on the oh-so-hip label Sarah, which exploded into fragments somewhere in the mid-90s. I was all-too-aware of the fate of Sarah because Joel and Josh, aka The Sugargliders, were one of the label’s finest. ANYHOW. Now I can get the song, all is lovely. And in my travels, I found this bio of the Gliders - was this guy watching the same band I did? Alternative rockers, my spotty white buttocks!
